I bought this phone about two weeks ago and though I keep seeing reviews that its disappointing since there is no headphone jack or charger included, still I am satisfied with my purchase. I came from a Redmi phone and I agree with what you said, iba talaga ang user experience sa Samsung. It may not be as impressive on papers if we will compare it with other brands, pero when you get to use it, thats when you will truly fall in love with it. For me, A73 5G is a phone that will give you a flagship experience on a budget.
Tama po kayo ganun din yung naexperience ko mula nung samsung na ginamit kung android phone, para kasing hindi rin worth it yung on papers ng ibang brand parang gimick din kasi di gaya sa samsung hindi nila nilagay on paper pero meron din naman silang features din pala nun. And of course yung ONE UI nila pinaka the best na UI na nagamit ko sa lahat ng android phones, plus may 4 years os updates and 5 years security updates pa sya. Kaya medyo natatakot din ako bumili ng phone sa ibang brand.
The snapdragon 800 series is normally reserved for flagship phones while the 700 series is for midrange phones. Since this phone is considered as upper midrange, I'm not really surprised with the use of snapdragon 778g...The processor is highly capable and is very battery efficient which is perfect for my use case.
No 3.5mm Headphone Jack No 25watts Charger brick inside the box Telephoto Lens replaced by depth sensor Still 5000mah Battery Capacity 30k for 256/8gb storage Added features: Object Eraser Additional 1 year software support Much better to buy A52s 5G for a lower price
but i agree with Mary when it Comes to Samsung user experience. the best for me. I got an Oppo, an Apple and a Xiaomi. , yet I still went back to Samsung 🥰
(2) i used Samsung phones in the past, switched to Xiaomi's and I badly want to switch back to Samsung now...not that ayaw ko sa Xiaomi but the overall experience on Samsungs are topnotch to me
Using A73 for a week now and I am satisfied with its performance..It's practical.Originally intended to buy the Z flip 4 or IPhone 14 but instead settled for a more utilitarian phone. I even got a free charger, speakers, case and P1000 discount. I got what I need from this phone (YT, Spotify,Netflix, boring stuff) and something more to buy with the savings I made with this phone. My little pet peeve for this phone is the lack of 3.5mm jack got a lot of IEMs but it's not a deal breaker for me will use an external dac instead or TWS (buti na lang meron pa SD slot) . Three things sets apart A73 from the rest of its price category ( not including the discounted s21fe) a very premium feeling UI, longevity and its software support . Overall if your looking for a low key phone that gets the job done at least on quasi flagship experience (not a gaming phone or anything niche). I think this is the phone for you.
I was torn between the S22 Ultra and the iPhone 13 Pro Max but I saw this beauty on display and I was blown away that it has almost flagship-level specs. This device exudes practicality and I bought it right away, not only did I save a lot of money but I get to enjoy its features that are just enough for me and it has been my daily driver without the bells and whistles.
Same here. I already made up my mind to buy an Iphone because I have another apple device but when I tried this phone, I realized that this is just what I need and server its purpose. So I ended up buying the unit even before watching this review :-)
I have this phone exact color as well. What i love about this phone is the night mode camera excellent color. I also played Mobile Legend works pretty good. Battery health is great on Android 12. The heating while gaming is around the camera area but minimal probably around 36 to 37°c
Been using Samsung Galaxy for around 10 years now, and I've been a fan of their Galaxy A series. Nag-start ako with Galaxy Y, nagamit ko siya nang mga 3 years din before ako bumili ng first Galaxy A ko which is yung A5(the 2015 one, from their sinaunang A series line up). Nagamit ko naman yon for 5 years kahit ba isang beses lang siya nagkaroon ng OS update 😂 performance is ok so napagtyagaan ko until 2020(pero may pagka-slow na that time & rom is no longer enough to run some of the apps), so doon nag-switch na ako to Galaxy A71. Now I still use my A71 na oks pa rin performance, aside sa games na makikitaan na ng pag-lag at high settings, especially Genshin. Medj tempted ako ngayon dito sa A73 5G kaso parang di naman ganon ka-laki for me yung improvements plus ok na ok pa rin naman 'tong A71 ko so I am gonna stick with this phone for a while longer, maybe until tumigil na ang Samsung sa pag-update ng OS nito(parang 3 years or 5 years yata yung plan na OS/security update for A71). Waiting na lang ako for Android 12 update coming this May! And also for future Galaxy A series, abang-abang na lang ulit ako ng review from Ms Mary since big help siya for me in making decisions pag usaping smartphone. :)
A71 din phone ko pero a few days ago biglang nag off then ayaw na mag on :( Di na bagsak or nabasa. Nag off bigla sa pocket ko so akala ko accidentally ko na power off. Nag on naman after pero mga less than 5 minutes nag off ulit and this time while I was using. Then ayaw na mag on ulit nag vivibrate pag i hold yung power and volume down and black screen. Pina check ko and sabi ng technician need daw replacement ng screen and around 8k. Really weird dahil di naman na bagsak, nabasa or overheat tapos sira nadaw yung screen. Wala nga kahit scratch yung screen dahil may screen protector. Really disappointing kaka update pa naman to Android 12 a few weeks ago then biglang nag black screen.
Had to go back here again after watching several phone reviews, finally nagka-new phone na rin ako at ito yung unit na yun. So, happy and thankyousomuch for the review, it really gives me the idea of the phone first before having it.
Alam mo ba Girl mary hindi po pwede ilagay ang fingerprint sa malapit gitna kasi battery na nasa gitna.. medyo makapal kasi ang optical fingerprint, kailangan nasa baba malapit charging board...
I currently own this a73 5g this jan 2023 definitely worth it and does the job plus good camera. I used to be always buying top spec phones since they became 'smart" but i only end up just using them for basic stuff so i went to mid range series phones since 2016. Much more practical for people like me who are not power users
I'm using my Samsung a71 until now,, and I never regret anything about it,, Samsung is the best in terms of display,, I enjoy watching movies and video,, in Netflix and other apps..
for the price and as a backup phone, not bad. no headphone jack isn't bothersome for some dude who uses DAC dongle most of the time if not wireless buds. still prefer this over some cheap brand devices. ☆☆☆☆
sulit naman talaga, wala nang pero pero kung sa lifespan ang usapan. Di tulad ng ibang phones yes maganda nga ang offer na specs sa mababang presyo pero di man lang tumagal kahit 2 or 3 years.
Un nga rin iniisip ko eh like local brand na matataas specs pero napakamura..kaya baka dito nlng ako sa a73 vs mga Poco Ng Xiaomi or Redmi11 Nila tanung kc Jan un duration Ng gamit when it comes in long use
using a samsung a71 as of the moment. not quite hyped about the design and the "improvements" samsung gave. also, been a fan of the A Series since 2017. However, I am looking forward to A74 or A75, or just get a flagship one nalang next year, S23 plus or just an iPhone 14 Pro as a birthday present lol.
kung kaya mo naman po pala bumili ng Samsung S23 or iPhone 14 Pro which is a future Flagship Phone by Samsung and Apple na magiging sobrang mahal kapag na-release na, bakit Samsung A71 which is a Mid-range phone ang gamit mo ngayon? Dapat naka-upgrade ka na by now kung kaya mo naman pala mag-gift sa sarili mo ng Flagship Phone ng Samsung or Apple. Your comment just doesn't make sense. Thank you
@@batch9518 lmao, i bought this phone April 2020, 2 years ago. Plus, if you have enough reading comprehension, then it would make sense. Plus, not to mention, I was just in 10th grade when I had my A71, what do you expect from a 10th grader to afford? Your comment's the one that does not make sense. And I am planning to buy this A73 sana since I AM A FAN OF THE A-SERIES SINCE 2017, and this "upgrade" really disappoints me. And since I am making enough money na to buy myself a flagship phone by the end of this year, I am planning and deciding to buy a much more expensive yet less hussle phone nalang, right? so, why are you mendling? Is this your experience? Are you me?
@@billieuntouchablenova why are you talking as if i know you're a 10th grader? What i said was just based on your first comment which didn't really make sense and lacked detail which you suddenly added to your second comment, so whatever you say on your new comment doesn't matter
@@batch9518 Man. This guy just said his disappointment about the new A73, why you so mad about it? it does not even affect you…. Thus, he just explained it to you in his second comment to make it more sense.
Sabi nga nung iba, mas mura yung entry level tapos iyon pa yung may power brick. Pero para sakin, yung pinaka disadvantage talaga nito ay yung headphone jack. Kasi midrange phone sya and most users ay gumagamit pa din naman ng headphones. I bought the Samsung Tab S7 FE Wifi version with the same chipset sya nito for 30k, buti na lang sa tablet section ni Samsung di nila sobrang tinipid. Siguro same package din ng mga ipads. I
galing ako sa highend phone(12promax) but so far di naman ako nadisappoint dito it still has everything i need, it help me saved a lot money to spend on other stuff as well.
Mdyo n disappointed ako dahil minsan nag hahard touch sya. Baka s unit ko lng. Hindi ko na nadala s costumer service dahil busy ako. So far ok n ok nman cya lalo sa camera..
Thanks to Corning Gorilla Glass 5. Two days old nahulog agad yung A73 ko, yung semento at screen protector lang ang nag crack, 0% damage sa screen rt haha
A52 4g .gamit ko .subrang ganda after mag update ng u.i 4.1 software update.subrang smooth..lakas makasagap ng WiFi connection ..kahit nakiki WiFi kalang .sa camera naman .subrang wow kahit nasa lowlights .
Baliktad maam Mary "hindi lang naman software ang coconsider, pati ang chipset" instead, dapat "hindi lang naman chipset ang cinoconsider dito, dapat pati rin ang software". Kasi aanhin mo ang mga flagship specs kuno kung may nadedeadboot, nagfefreeze ung screen, nagooverheat at iba pang samut saring issue. Hindi mo rin siya magagamit ng maayos. Ang samsung binabalance niya, ung power at durability. Hindi lang sila basta salpak ng salpak ng kung ano anong mga high end chipset diyan. For example, magsasalpak ka diyan snapdragon 870, e kung ang cooling system naman ay hindi ganun kalakas, paano na lang magiging temperature niyan? Parang pwede ka na magprito sa likod ng phone mo kung ganyan.
Kaya nga!!! Ang daming nagrereklamo sa A73 na to kesyo panget daw at mahal. Syempre para sa iba na manggagaling sa outdated na Aseries or Jseries (or kahit anong old android phones) malaking upgrade to. Mejo pricey kase binibili mo din yung name ng brand. For me, this is a decent phone. It works fine i was using a32 then upgraded to this., maayus sya ofc depende sa consumer pa rin. Di ko alam bakit daming nega na comments eh for me ang ganda naman talaga ng phone. If ever na you are using A52 or A71 up- i dont think nga na maeenjoy mo cguro for me di pa worth it mag upgrade if thats the case. Better wait for the next new phone na ilalaunch nila. ❤️
Planning to buy samsung a32. sulit po ba? Wala po kasi si ate mary ma review. I'll use it for online class po kasi for the whole year at hanggang 14k lang po budget ko (1st year college po ako) okay po ba siya?
I got mine samsung A73 5g 256g highly recommended...iba talaga si Samsung compare to other brand...sabihin na natin overprice pero worth it naman sa performance...meron din ibang brand ang ganda ng specs kung basahin pero sa actual ang pangit gamitin...
As per paper..2 days to last ang battery, if not used..😁 But actual used, as per review..14hrs only in a day to last..normal use of FB, messenger, youtube, whatsApp.. But overall, still good phone..lalo na sa IP67 rating water proof..👍👍👍
Since 5th grade. from phones to tabs tv or what. always kami nakasamsung. Very insired kami sa quality and alam naming tatagal siya. never tried pther brands since for me eto na talaga yung masasabi kong pinakatatagal sakin though mas mahal siya tapos medyo mababa specs compared to others pero still❤️
Wala man siyang headphone jack pero yung software support niya na 4 years android upgrades at 5 years security patches, at ikaw yung hindi laging pala-palit ng Phone, sobrang sulit na nitong phone na ito.
Thank you for the review. Budget consideration this phone works in a very utilitarian and good way. However in the review the chipset was labeled non-future proof because a "predicted" future apps would be so demanding this will not be suitable anymore. What apps are you talking about? VR? 3D rendering apps? games? There are toy cellphones from Oppo, Xiaomi, OnePlus etc. that are with higher specs chips and way more expensive but makes no sense for practical users. I am sure all the forced marketing strategies make reviewing phones profitable but common-sense people will find this phone enough. Let the toy users and social climbers spend for devices most will never be maxing out. Peace!
Almost 8 months na since we bought my (last and final I guess😹) na smartphone which is this Samsung A73 5G and I must say worth it yung almost 30K for my daily use palang for my studies and also for my leisure. Camera wise solid rin and yung specs niya goods for over all performance. Looking forward to the next years A series ng samsung but I settled (for now) in my A73 5G. Thank you ate mary for reviewing this!, honestly nirerewatch ko itong review mo because this is how I manifest before, before I got this my new phone🩷❤️💕
@@fettuccine559 ok. Kase dami bad reviews, panget daw camera... ehhh mahilig ako magtiktok at magpicture picture , sabi nila di daw maganda. Tapos yung battery mabilis malowbat daw. Kakaloka, di ko tuloy alam if mag Oppo ako na reno8 or yung vivov25 pro... pero samsung lover na kase mulat sapul. Gusto ko magupgrade sana from A32 to A73 🥹🥹
@Hisutoria Reisu • 2000 years ago okay naman yung gamit ko po... from samsung a52 to a73 ako and makikita ko na mas maganda ang a73 po... smooth yung paggamit ko... samsung lover din kasi ako when it comes to android. Hindi ako gamer, just an average user.
Maganda nga sana, willing ako i-overlook ang kawalan ng headphone jack dahil may wireless earbuds naman na ako at usb-c adaptors pero ang medyo masakit ay bukod sa may mga inalis gaya ng charger at telephoto lens, tumaas pa ang price nya despite using a 2021 mid-range SoC.
a73 5g from KSA gift ng husband ko sa akin 8gbRAM 256GB super fast charging at mahirap malobat for now wala pa akong naging problem very satisfied ako..fan kasi ako ng samsung hindi ako masyado sa iphone tulad ng asawa ko kaya laging samsung pinabili ko pag di na mapakinabangan cp ko..share as a part of review😊 now 1month ko ng. ginagamit a73 5g alhamdulillah ok pa rin po.
Thanks the review... kakabili ko lng kahapon ng A53 5g... wala siyang charger pero tinanong ko kung may freebie ang binigay nila ay charger... Goods padin...
No headphone jack. No FM Radio. I think you can use a headphone if you buy a type c headphone connector. My main reason that is why I like the A series is its headphone jack and FM radio. Imagine listening to FM radio without consuming data is good. And no worries not being able to charge your wireless headphones. If ganito lang na walang headphone jack at FM radio. Bili na lang ako ng S22+. Kasi halos the same lang dahil wala na rin ang magandang features. Di tulad ng A72. May FM radio at headphone jack. Wala lang 5G. Kaya Im sticking to my Samsung Galaxy C9 Pro na matagal na pero worth it.
Una kong nging phone sa a series ng samsung ay a70 tapos a71 at ngayon a72.happy samsung user here🙂.sulitin ko muna a72.bilis mag upgrade.d na wise ganon0
Mary Bautista that chipset is plentiful enough for the A73. If you’ll compare it to the A72’s chipset, also take note the Nothing Phone 1 is also using that chipset, keep in mind that chipset is no slouch, it has four cortex A78 cpus. Before you undermine everything do your research properly.
Watching this review from a Lenovo S5 pro and Samsung J7 prime devices. 😊 Yung Samsung J7 prime ko nabili ko last May 2017 for P13k+. Ilang ulit nang nahulog at nabagsak sa lupa, semento, tiles at WORST, nahulog sa balde ng tubig pero hanggang ngayon buhay na buhay pa rin. Kaya di talaga ako magsisising bumili ng Samsung kasi yung specs at quality niya, proven and tested na. 😊
Kakabili q lang nito here in Singapore at swerte aq may promo sila kaya may free adopter at power bank at na amazed aq super fast mag charge 1hr lang pag gamit mo ung suitable talaga na charger nya
I'm really disappointed with samsung A series. Nung bagong labas ang A50 and A50s Wala pang 2 years nasira na. Then Bumili ako ng A71. Wala pa din 2 years nasira na. Nakakapanghinayang lang kasi tuwing nasisira tapos na sa warranty.
been using this phone for almost a year now and I really satisfied esp. the camera, battery, fast charging, dual speaker, and AMOLED display. Downside lang talaga ang no headphone jack. Hindi magandang option ang adapter kaya I have to buy bluetooth earphones. Another disadvantage is the sim tray. I want to have a external memory card but I have to compromise on having 2 sim cards. Its bittersweet na this is the last A7+ series that they gonna release.
Yes until now i'm still using samsung a7 2018 iba padin ang experience pag samsung ung brand ng phone. Matibay naka ilang laglag na. Maganda din for gaming and ung storage sapat lang sakin. Pero katagalan sa camera ako hindi satisfied dahil madami ng nag labasan na mas maganda ang quality ng camera. Overall still torn and undecided to buy a new phone. My samsung a7 2018 is perfectly working and still smooth.
Hahaha, yung puro specs lang basihan mo, sa china phone ka mapupunta parati, pero kung alam mo ang sekrito sa electronics. Sa mga branded ng mga branded na smartphone ang bibilhin mo. That why mas mahal nag samsung and apple phone nila. 😅😅😅
For me ate @mary bautista perfect na sana sakin si samsung a72. Lalo sa camera pero nakaka dismaya lang ang baba lang chipsetbnya 😭 mga 9/10 para sakin. Sayang chipset perfect na sana
hello po, di ko alam kung ako lang. i bought my samsung a73 1 week ago. pero napansin ko na may glitching horizontal line sya sa upper part ng phone screen. di naman sya ganun ka visible pero pag tiningnan mo ng mabuti, mahahalata mo sya. di ko naman sya nabagsak o nabasa pero kapag binababaan yung brightness, nakikita yung parang glitch lines
Dalawa I option ko samsung a73 and huawei nova 9. Pero pagkakita ko sa Huawei nova 9. Na inlove ako kahit walang google super ganda. May 3rd party naman Gapp parang may google nadin ako.. I still considered samsung in future.
I bought this phone about two weeks ago and though I keep seeing reviews that its disappointing since there is no headphone jack or charger included, still I am satisfied with my purchase. I came from a Redmi phone and I agree with what you said, iba talaga ang user experience sa Samsung.

planning switching too sa Samsung sandamak 2 bugs and issues note 9 pro ko 10 update na d prin nawala putcha at ito na a73 na napili ko ❤️❤️
I also have this phone i have 1 problem the battery drain fast.

No 3.5mm Headphone Jack
No 25watts Charger brick inside the box
Telephoto Lens replaced by depth sensor
Still 5000mah Battery Capacity
30k for 256/8gb storage
Added features:
Object Eraser
Additional 1 year software support
Much better to buy A52s 5G for a lower price
Go buy that, then.
a52s has a wider cut sa sides but a smaller punch hole
a73 has a narrower cut sa sides but a bigger punch hole and also may 2 years update advantage
hati talaga ako sa dalawa
Galaxy a73 5g for me is like a flagship like look, specs, and feel. Makakabili rin ako ng high end smartphone soon like this device hihi

Selling point of this phone is the software updates and the micro sd card slot upto 1TB.
galing ako sa highend phone(12promax) but so far di naman ako nadisappoint dito it still has everything i need, it help me saved a lot money to spend on other stuff as well.
Price would've been justified if it had a headphone jack or video out via Type C.
My phone is oppo a3 and still working, i can play games and watch videos. I bought from philippines 3 yrs ago
I bought Samsung A71 nasira lang, salamat po sa review
You can do a lot of things with samsung devices. Totally satisfied with my A73 5G purchase.
Mdyo n disappointed ako dahil minsan nag hahard touch sya. Baka s unit ko lng. Hindi ko na nadala s costumer service dahil busy ako. So far ok n ok nman cya lalo sa camera..
Thanks to Corning Gorilla Glass 5. Two days old nahulog agad yung A73 ko, yung semento at screen protector lang ang nag crack, 0% damage sa screen rt haha
I have planned to buy a phone what is the best to buy but it based on camera? Samsung A73 or Iphone 11?
Mas matibay naman ang plastic ah. Ang metal pag binato mo eh may dent agad. 🤷♂️
A52 4g .gamit ko .subrang ganda after mag update ng u.i 4.1 software update.subrang smooth..lakas makasagap ng WiFi connection ..kahit nakiki WiFi kalang .sa camera naman .subrang wow kahit nasa lowlights .
Still using my A70 3yrs nadin and perfectly working well but I'm planning to buy A73 on my birthday. Kaya Ipon ipon muna.
Im using A70 din...reklamo ko lang ay ang pangit ng cam 😅

Depende din kasi sa pag gamit, our tour guide from bora been using my phone to take photos and it went just fine.
Baliktad maam Mary "hindi lang naman software ang coconsider, pati ang chipset" instead, dapat "hindi lang naman chipset ang cinoconsider dito, dapat pati rin ang software". Kasi aanhin mo ang mga flagship specs kuno kung may nadedeadboot, nagfefreeze ung screen, nagooverheat at iba pang samut saring issue. Hindi mo rin siya magagamit ng maayos. Ang samsung binabalance niya, ung power at durability. Hindi lang sila basta salpak ng salpak ng kung ano anong mga high end chipset diyan. For example, magsasalpak ka diyan snapdragon 870, e kung ang cooling system naman ay hindi ganun kalakas, paano na lang magiging temperature niyan? Parang pwede ka na magprito sa likod ng phone mo kung ganyan.
True. May pag ka bias din kasi mag review. Pag ibang brands walang negative comments. Hahahah. Di ko pa nman napanuod lahat reviews nya.
Kaya nga!!! Ang daming nagrereklamo sa A73 na to kesyo panget daw at mahal. Syempre para sa iba na manggagaling sa outdated na Aseries or Jseries (or kahit anong old android phones) malaking upgrade to. Mejo pricey kase binibili mo din yung name ng brand. For me, this is a decent phone. It works fine i was using a32 then upgraded to this., maayus sya ofc depende sa consumer pa rin. Di ko alam bakit daming nega na comments eh for me ang ganda naman talaga ng phone. If ever na you are using A52 or A71 up- i dont think nga na maeenjoy mo cguro for me di pa worth it mag upgrade if thats the case. Better wait for the next new phone na ilalaunch nila. ❤️
Samsung is the best! Recently switched from A52 4G to A73 5G 🥰
How is still i still think of getting A52. Does it include a charger?
@@withexo5225 Yes, charging brick and cable is included in A52.
Please advise on the camera ? Is it reallyworth the upgrade from A52s to a73 for 108mp? thanks
@@mamellomakhoro459 For me, it's a yes. As I also use the Galaxy A73 5G. Camera quality is as sharp dahil sa 108mp lalo na sa lowlight situation.
Dami daldal sana direct to the point
review nga eh.
anong direct to the point ka jan hahaha
Ang ganda talaga ng samsung🥰
Wag po kayo maniwala dito nanghihinge po sya ng shipping fee na 1600+ sakin para daw sa napalanunan ko
@Mary Bautista
Planning to buy samsung a32. sulit po ba? Wala po kasi si ate mary ma review. I'll use it for online class po kasi for the whole year at hanggang 14k lang po budget ko (1st year college po ako) okay po ba siya?
Yes po ok lang po
camera wise, impressive.. kanina lng nagcheck ako, may freebies pa na blutooth speaker and keyboard ..pati display nya amazinggg.. ipon ipon muna haha
I got mine samsung A73 5g 256g highly recommended...iba talaga si Samsung compare to other brand...sabihin na natin overprice pero worth it naman sa performance...meron din ibang brand ang ganda ng specs kung basahin pero sa actual ang pangit gamitin...
Nag iinit talaga Yung Sd778 ganyan din kasi sa A52s 5g ko . Lalo na pag Naka Hotspot.
Worth the wait!! ❤️❤️❤️ Ikaw po talaga lagi kong hinihintay pagdating sa mga reviews.. 😊
As per paper..2 days to last ang battery, if not used..😁
But actual used, as per review..14hrs only in a day to last..normal use of FB, messenger, youtube, whatsApp..
But overall, still good phone..lalo na sa IP67 rating water proof..👍👍👍
Since 5th grade. from phones to tabs tv or what. always kami nakasamsung. Very insired kami sa quality and alam naming tatagal siya. never tried pther brands since for me eto na talaga yung masasabi kong pinakatatagal sakin though mas mahal siya tapos medyo mababa specs compared to others pero still❤️
I got mine yesterday ..ilove samsung tlga ..from samaung a50 to a52 dn ngayun a73 so far so good nman c a73 para sakin ☺
I am looking for the highest camera mega pixel please. Is this worth it?
Just get the s20fe or s21fe series you'll get premium feels because of that flagship specs and cameras with almost the same price as the a73
S21 FE almost same price? dude 10k price difference neto sa A73
Malayo ang price between A73 to S20 or 21fe
Wala man siyang headphone jack pero yung software support niya na 4 years android upgrades at 5 years security patches, at ikaw yung hindi laging pala-palit ng Phone, sobrang sulit na nitong phone na ito.
Agreed... super impressive nmn ng A73 coming from an obsolete oppo phone bought in 2018
Comparison plss A52s 5g vs A73 na stuck ako kung alin ba sa dalawa
A52 is still one of Samsung's best midrange and overall.
All of the a 52 and above series is a good good phone optimization is on point💜💜
Compare sa Poco f4 gt. Halos same price lang sila pero walang wala yan samsung when it comes to performance. Mas irrecomend ko ang Poco F4 Gt
Pero when it comes sa Camera mas goods pa rin ba Poco f4 gt? Napapaisip ako kung ano ba talaga e mahirap na
Thank you for the review. Budget consideration this phone works in a very utilitarian and good way. However in the review the chipset was labeled non-future proof because a "predicted" future apps would be so demanding this will not be suitable anymore. What apps are you talking about? VR? 3D rendering apps? games? There are toy cellphones from Oppo, Xiaomi, OnePlus etc. that are with higher specs chips and way more expensive but makes no sense for practical users. I am sure all the forced marketing strategies make reviewing phones profitable but common-sense people will find this phone enough. Let the toy users and social climbers spend for devices most will never be maxing out. Peace!
Almost 8 months na since we bought my (last and final I guess😹) na smartphone which is this Samsung A73 5G and I must say worth it yung almost 30K for my daily use palang for my studies and also for my leisure. Camera wise solid rin and yung specs niya goods for over all performance. Looking forward to the next years A series ng samsung but I settled (for now) in my A73 5G.
Thank you ate mary for reviewing this!, honestly nirerewatch ko itong review mo because this is how I manifest before, before I got this my new phone🩷❤️💕
I'm a samsung user since 2013. I love samsung
After watching this review binili ko pa rin...and it didn't disappoint me. Iba pa rin talaga ang samsung when it comes to android phones
Hello kamusta po camera at battery? Salamat pp❤️
@Hisutoria Reisu • 2000 years ago hello! Okay pa rin po...magtatatlong buwan pa lang naman po.
@@fettuccine559 ok. Kase dami bad reviews, panget daw camera... ehhh mahilig ako magtiktok at magpicture picture , sabi nila di daw maganda. Tapos yung battery mabilis malowbat daw. Kakaloka, di ko tuloy alam if mag Oppo ako na reno8 or yung vivov25 pro... pero samsung lover na kase mulat sapul. Gusto ko magupgrade sana from A32 to A73 🥹🥹
@Hisutoria Reisu • 2000 years ago okay naman yung gamit ko po... from samsung a52 to a73 ako and makikita ko na mas maganda ang a73 po... smooth yung paggamit ko... samsung lover din kasi ako when it comes to android. Hindi ako gamer, just an average user.
Better purchase the Vivo V23 5G… magkalapit lang ang price...
This Is One Of The Better A Series Phones From SAMSUNG...Larger Display Of At Least 6.6 Inches & A Battery At Least 5000mAh...
Samsung user here, di talaga ako nag iiba ng brand ng phone, balak ng partner ko bumili ng new phone A73 or A53.
Ako rin kahapon bomili ako A73 SUPER ganda ganyan din kolay ang biniliko 30k plus
Maganda nga sana, willing ako i-overlook ang kawalan ng headphone jack dahil may wireless earbuds naman na ako at usb-c adaptors pero ang medyo masakit ay bukod sa may mga inalis gaya ng charger at telephoto lens, tumaas pa ang price nya despite using a 2021 mid-range SoC.
a73 5g from KSA gift ng husband ko sa akin 8gbRAM 256GB super fast charging at mahirap malobat for now wala pa akong naging problem very satisfied ako..fan kasi ako ng samsung hindi ako masyado sa iphone tulad ng asawa ko kaya laging samsung pinabili ko pag di na mapakinabangan cp ko..share as a part of review😊 now 1month ko ng. ginagamit a73 5g alhamdulillah ok pa rin po.
After 3 months using it for gaming the best mid range phone thumbs-up for 29k not bad like na like ko to...
Thanks the review... kakabili ko lng kahapon ng A53 5g... wala siyang charger pero tinanong ko kung may freebie ang binigay nila ay charger... Goods padin...
For practicality mas ok yun s20 fe mas mura siya sa lazada
this upgrade is not really good, smh. i’ll just keep my a72 nalang.
No headphone jack. No FM Radio. I think you can use a headphone if you buy a type c headphone connector. My main reason that is why I like the A series is its headphone jack and FM radio. Imagine listening to FM radio without consuming data is good. And no worries not being able to charge your wireless headphones. If ganito lang na walang headphone jack at FM radio. Bili na lang ako ng S22+. Kasi halos the same lang dahil wala na rin ang magandang features. Di tulad ng A72. May FM radio at headphone jack. Wala lang 5G. Kaya Im sticking to my Samsung Galaxy C9 Pro na matagal na pero worth it.
Kaso discontinued napo yung pag release ng products (same user here)
Una kong nging phone sa a series ng samsung ay a70 tapos a71 at ngayon a72.happy samsung user here🙂.sulitin ko muna a72.bilis mag upgrade.d na wise ganon0
Thanks sa review maam! Planning to avail this phone thru Globe Plans... samsung champ pa lang ako dati until now samsung pa rin... thnks
15 months na sa akon ang a73 ko now. no issue at super smooth pa din. 8/256 mint green...
same bro smooth pa dn aq ganda pa ng designe gnda ng performance
Mary Bautista that chipset is plentiful enough for the A73. If you’ll compare it to the A72’s chipset, also take note the Nothing Phone 1 is also using that chipset, keep in mind that chipset is no slouch, it has four cortex A78 cpus. Before you undermine everything do your research properly.
Parang a52s 5g Lang din siya , mataas Lang mejo battery at parang same camera Lang din . , pero Mas mura a52s5g
Bought mine today. I was so happy.
Sana bili ko yan sana all 😍
Watching this review from a Lenovo S5 pro and Samsung J7 prime devices. 😊
Yung Samsung J7 prime ko nabili ko last May 2017 for P13k+. Ilang ulit nang nahulog at nabagsak sa lupa, semento, tiles at WORST, nahulog sa balde ng tubig pero hanggang ngayon buhay na buhay pa rin.
Kaya di talaga ako magsisising bumili ng Samsung kasi yung specs at quality niya, proven and tested na. 😊
Maganda talaga review ni Mary Bautista inaantay ko 2 bago ako bumili ng phone
Eto sana bblhin ko kaso nadisappoint ako sa camera nya kala ko mapapa wow ako sa 108mp kasi samsung eh. A53 nlng bblhin ko super ganda pa ng camera.
Ate Mary can you do a comparison video of Oppo Reno 7 Pro and Samsung Galaxy A73 5G..
Have you purchased oppo reno 7 pro here in ph? Is it available now?
Kakabili q lang nito here in Singapore at swerte aq may promo sila kaya may free adopter at power bank at na amazed aq super fast mag charge 1hr lang pag gamit mo ung suitable talaga na charger nya
Hello ate Mary. Ano po masusuggest nyo na smartphone worth 17-19k?
I'm really disappointed with samsung A series. Nung bagong labas ang A50 and A50s Wala pang 2 years nasira na. Then Bumili ako ng A71. Wala pa din 2 years nasira na. Nakakapanghinayang lang kasi tuwing nasisira tapos na sa warranty.
Anong klaseng sira po?
been using this phone for almost a year now and I really satisfied esp. the camera, battery, fast charging, dual speaker, and AMOLED display. Downside lang talaga ang no headphone jack. Hindi magandang option ang adapter kaya I have to buy bluetooth earphones. Another disadvantage is the sim tray. I want to have a external memory card but I have to compromise on having 2 sim cards. Its bittersweet na this is the last A7+ series that they gonna release.
Ty
Yes until now i'm still using samsung a7 2018 iba padin ang experience pag samsung ung brand ng phone. Matibay naka ilang laglag na. Maganda din for gaming and ung storage sapat lang sakin. Pero katagalan sa camera ako hindi satisfied dahil madami ng nag labasan na mas maganda ang quality ng camera. Overall still torn and undecided to buy a new phone. My samsung a7 2018 is perfectly working and still smooth.
mabilis ba talagang malowbat yung device? sino nakakaranas nito. 😅
Bakit kaya inuulit ulit ko tong panuorin sayo ate mary? Hehe Haaaaaay sarap mangarap! 🥲🥲
Ang ganda kasi ng display ng samsung 🥰
Thanks sa review maam mary, kasi kakapalit kulang
Hahaha, yung puro specs lang basihan mo, sa china phone ka mapupunta parati, pero kung alam mo ang sekrito sa electronics. Sa mga branded ng mga branded na smartphone ang bibilhin mo. That why mas mahal nag samsung and apple phone nila. 😅😅😅
Merong question po ako ate mary yung sim 1 and sim 2 ay ready to 5G?
Mas detailed yung review ng mga international TH-camrs lol
The 108mp rear camera and the 32mp selfie have made me damp my S8 plus for the A73 5G
For me ate @mary bautista perfect na sana sakin si samsung a72. Lalo sa camera pero nakaka dismaya lang ang baba lang chipsetbnya 😭 mga 9/10 para sakin. Sayang chipset perfect na sana
hello po, di ko alam kung ako lang. i bought my samsung a73 1 week ago. pero napansin ko na may glitching horizontal line sya sa upper part ng phone screen. di naman sya ganun ka visible pero pag tiningnan mo ng mabuti, mahahalata mo sya. di ko naman sya nabagsak o nabasa pero kapag binababaan yung brightness, nakikita yung parang glitch lines
same po tayo may napansin din akong horizontal line sa upper part
Same tayo be
Hindi po ba amoled burn?
Planning to upgrade from Samsung A72 to A73 5G, but after watching this review parang wag na lang muna.
Yes wag muna hindi worth it. Wait mo muna lumabas yung a74 or a75.
Sa sobrang helpful ni Ms.Mary nalilito na ako bumili ng phone. 🥲🥲🥲
Gusto ko talaga reviews mo mam Mary, detalyado lahat at inaabangan ko lagi.
Dalawa I option ko samsung a73 and huawei nova 9. Pero pagkakita ko sa Huawei nova 9. Na inlove ako kahit walang google super ganda. May 3rd party naman Gapp parang may google nadin ako.. I still considered samsung in future.
Just got this phone and it's freaking awesome!
You can buy this as low as 11k in the used market and i think it has the best value at 11k slightly used
